OK, so I found this website listing the times and stages and it looks like the mode as well.

https://splatoon.ink/

So anybody here tech savy enough to figure out what evil viruses it is implanting on my PC? I don't believe there is a domain for .ink. Here's the source code for people too smart to click on an unknown link.

Nothing untoward happening in the posted code. However. there's an unknown "main.js" Javascript file included and that could be doing all kinds of things nad we can't see them here. But you're probably safe.

@Spoony_Tech: Should I send you my statkeeping sheet? Fully automated total, average and ratio of kills/deaths. Need excel for it, though. Know any good upload methods? Don't think I can share files on NL

@Spoony_Tech: - You're worried about kdr in a game about inking floors?

I'm a stat nut, and the level thing is still killing me. I want to screensave the aftermath of every battle - even though I know it doesn't matter - just b/c 20,20,20,20 vs 14,16,18,10 just seems so wrong. But yeah a simple W/L would be nice. And the "flags" keep the streak stats so you just KNOW they are tracking it, just not letting us see it.

Maybe we should design some Yatzhee like score pads and start selling them on Etsy?

@Fazermint: Thanks but no, I should have to keep my own stats. Last I checked Nintendo this is 2015 and not 1999. At the very least we should see win loss. We can see our stats in kart 8 so what's the deal.

@rjejr Yes I would like to see it. Especially for ranked mode where kills mean so much more. Also I've come to the realization that if I don't play turf wars aggressive then I don't play well. I still paint a lot but I need to know where the enemy is and if they're dead then they ain't painting!

Aren't you the guy who was giving me a hard time for shooting people in the back?

Your kid play tower control yet? My kids still haven't reached 10 yet, been busy doing other stuff. One had a friend over today and they were playing Metroid in Nintendo Land. Those outside levels looked fun in co-op, the inside ones were always too claustrophobic for me. It looked better than Federation Force.

@rjejr: Lol and yes he's played about 10 and he's level 20. He lost his first 3 this morning but won about 4 or 5 total. He's quite good and gives me a run for my money in the dojo. We were about even in the dojo till his sister ratted him out telling my he was looking at the tv. I wondered how he knew where I was sometimes.

He's a B- C+ player though as he just can't seem to get to B.

Yeah, that's about where I am, but we already knew he was better than me after the single player boss fight. Oh, and I was mistaken, my 1 kid is level 12 I didn't know. I tikn it's time for us to start playing more together before they gt too far left behind. I'm 115 hours into Xenoblade, once I finsih that then I can get better as well.

3. The separation of regular and ranked modes doesn't make sense. I'd like to be able to play Splat Zones and Tower Control unranked, or Turf War ranked. It's called freedom. Players like that. Nintendo doesn't know.

The current separation makes sense for many players.

4. Ranking is based on 75% luck and 25% performance (considering you're 1/4th of a team).

Statistically, this only makes sense if you play with 7 players who have identical playing style and and skill level. For all other situations, after enough number a randomized team setups, the only common denominator is yourself.

I just want to be able to play the mode I want, on the level I want, and decide myself if it should be ranked or unranked. But no, Nintendo knows what their customers want... And I wish I could be rated on my own personal performance rather than how lucky I am with my my team members. I somehow made it up to A rank, but after testing out Tower Control I'm back to A- . I played like a damn hero, with an average of 4 kills per death (that's hard in A rank), but if my team can't keep up it doesn't matter.

If you want to play a game that play the way the "customer wants", there are numerous games based on bullet-point game design out there already.

By reading your conclusions above, I only get the feeling that the statistics that's already available to you is widely overinterpreted. Statistics in a match is of no use if you don't take into account when the events happened and how, specially since the number of different statics is so sparse. If (for example) the individual tower travel distance would be included in the statitics, the statitics would be much 3-dimensional all of a sudden.

@pikminfan22: I've been using this on my PC, but it doesn't work on my Android tablet using Dolphin. Hope it helps. But yes it's stupid on their part. I understand their reasoning, keep the 4x4 lobbies filling it up fast b/c we don't have many choices, but I'd be willing to wait a minute to choose my mode. I'm OK w/ the map rotation, gives me something to look forward to and forces me to change weapons - I like my gear for now - but swapping splat zone and tower control just sucks, no defending that.

I wonder what will happen w/ 4th of July Splatfest being US only? Could be waiting awhile due to holiday travelers. My spiteful side hopes so.

I do find Splatzones and Tower Control rotation to just be a pain as at the moment I'd rather be able to play tower control, I'd just like choice honestly.

Like others I find the rotation of the ranked modes to be very frustrating.I was playing Tower Control earlier and it was Saltspray Rig and Port Mackerel in rotation.The first 7 or 8 battles were over in less than a minute,as soon as we or the opposing team got on the tower it got to the goal without any trouble.Saltspray Rig especially doesn't seem designed well for this mode.I wanted to quit and play Splat Zones but of course that was not an option for another 3 hours.Hopefully this will change come August but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't.

I'm joining the "Tower Control/Splat Zones rotation is quite odd" bandwagon. An odd choice, really, but I was thinking about it and I think it's because of the fact that if there are choices, the most players(especially the experts) will only play one mode, creating a scarcity of players in the other modes. You can't blames the players, though.
I hope the August update comes with choices.

God first.

I think Nintendo should do a playlist that has a mixture of both, something along the lines of Big Team Battle in the earlier Halo games but without the limit of only large maps. A mixture of maps and modes so like going from Turf War on Walleye Warehouse to Tower Control on Saltspray Rig to Splat Zones on Port Mackerel to Tower Control on Blackbelly Skatepark, etc. Also allow changing of weapons in the lobby for that playlist.

@Fazermint: Honestly, it sounds like you don't play a whole lot of online "competitive" games. Pretty much everything you listed can be applied to every online MOBA, FPS, MMO, etc.

@Fazermint: Your needless ad hominem attacks against Nintendo are unfounded and, uh, needless. That's my point. Let's choose a particularly poignant quote: "But no, Nintendo knows what their customers want..." (sarcasm being utilized)

That's not the case at all. It's a case of ranked play verus "for fun" play. In nearly all competitive online games from the dawn of competitive online games, there have been distinctions between the play modes/maps/etc. This is because the two modes cater to different crowds, and rules need to be "regularized" for said crowds.

Like MLG doesn't currently acknowledge Team Deathmatch as a ranked option for CoD Advaned Warfare. They want to keep the playfing field limited to certain game types so that everyone is on the same "ground," so to speak.

That would eliminate luck from the equation and make performance 100%.

That makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. When I point out Splatoon's flaws, I'm told to go play a game with bad game design? It's as ironic as it is nonsensical.

So what you're saying is that inclusion of more advanced statistics would make it difficult to interpret, so sticking to a singular statistic is best. And I should not assign any significance to this singular statistic that governs my performance because it isn't advanced enough.

@rallydefault: What a load of bull. You can't discredit my entire opinion based on the fact that I used sarcasm.

I may not have played a ton of online games, but at least my online experience isn't so limited that I believe LoL and CoD are representative examples.
